28 Days on DVD (2000)

28 days to get a life

Elizabeth from West Midlands [Highly rated reviewer] , 23/01/2007

This film for me is a feel good film as I like to say, shows you that you can achieve something if you want it hard enough. If ive had a bad day or just feeling down in the dumps this movie always cheers me up.

Sandra Bullock stars as Gwen Cummings an alcoholic who just wants to live life with out thinking of the consequences in-between. Bullock who I think is one of the best female actors plays a superb role. The acting in this movie couldn't have been better, with an excellent script all the actors/characters work well together.

I would have loved to have seen a sequel to 28 days. As I think it would be good to know what the characters did after and how they are living their lives now. This movie is fun filled, but also has a slightly serious tone to it. Personally I think this movie sends a message that we don't need to get drunk to have a good time and enjoy ourselves, and if we try, we can achieve anything we want.

Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is an out-going, drinking party lass, and with her boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West), they think that to have fun they must be the life and soul of the party. So this must mean they have to get totally drunk each and every time there out!

Its Gwen's sisters Lily's (Elizabeth Perkins) wedding, and Gwen was set to be her bridesmaid, only drinking heavily the night before she wakes up late. Almost missing her sister's wedding, along with Jasper, she decides that they're going to liven the wedding up with a speech, drinks and dancing.

So as Gwen and Jasper are dancing away, bumping into everyone making fools of themselves, Gwen slips and falls, yes you guessed it, straight into her sister's wedding cake. Gwen being Gwen says don't worry I'll fix it, as she jump's into the drivers limo and goes hunting for a wedding cake, only being so drunk she crashes into a house.

The courts sentence her to 28 days in rehabilitation or a jail sentence, Gwen picked the rehab thinking it was going to be easy. She was so wrong, she hated it, no drinking or drugs this was a living hell! She now has to fight to stay sober, take part in daily routines which is no easy journey for poor Gwen

Now that Gwen has been there a few days, she realise that she was killing herself, and she wasn't the life and soul of the party, she was the joke of the party. She now cant wait to turn her life round. But does she have the will power?

Not one of Sandra's best films. It seemed to be very slow and a bit meandering. Best thing was that it had a happy ending and the little playlet wes very amusing.

Yet another wasted rental. As a devoted Bullock fan I'm surprised how bad this is. It's pathetic. Don't rent it, you'll probably already have seen it on TV, like I, altho how I managed to watch it the first time I don't know, I certainly couldn't watch it a second.

Rehabillitated.

A wonderful performance from Sandra Bullock in a film that you normally wouldn't find her in.

A drunk, a lousy sister and a horrible lifestyle, Gwen (Bullock) is admitted into rehab for 28 days. Follow her journey through the good and the bad times as she gets her life back on track.

A very funny film that explores serious issues.
